What mirror diameter gives 0.1 arc second resolution for infrared radiation of wavelength 2 micrometers?

Physics
1 answer:
Irina18 [472]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The diameter of mirror 5\times10^{-6}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 2 μm

Resolution = 0.1

We need to calculate the diameter of mirror

Using formula of resolution

resolution=0.25\times\dfrac{wavelength}{diameter}

diameter =0.25\times\dfrac{wavelength}{resolution}

Put the value into the formula

diameter=0.25\times\dfrac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.1}

diameter = 0.000005\ m

diameter = 5\times10^{-6}\ m

Hence, The diameter of mirror 5\times10^{-6}\ m

What is the kinetic energy of a an 80kg football player running at 8 m/s?
Ugo [173]
In the question it is already given that the football player is 80 kg.
Then the mass of the football player = 80 kg
Velocity at which the football player is running = 8 m/s
<span>Kinetic Energy = 0.5 • mass • square of velocity
Now we have to put the known data in this equation to find the actual velocity of the footballer.
</span> <span></span>So
Kinetic Energy of the footballer = 0.5 * 80 * (8 * 8)
                                                 = 0.5 * 80 * 64
                                                 = 2560
So the Kinetic energy of the footballer is 2560 joules

Explain the law of conservation of momentum.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

It says that momentum cannot be created or destroyed. Momentum just passes through systems as opposed to just disappearing in thin air. Momentum can be changed to heat or energy.

7. Why does increasing the mass of an egg increase the chance that it will be damaged in a drop?​
12345 [234]
Because if you increase the surface area of such a fragile object there is more space and in turn more of a chance for the object (in this case the egg) to be damaged.

Air pressure may be represented as a function of height above the surface of the Earth as shown below.. P(h) = P_0 e^-.00012h. .
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer. Second Option: .85p_o=p_o e^-.00012h


Solution:

P(h)=Po e^(-0.00012h)

Air pressure: P(h)

Height above the surface of the Earth (in meters): h

Air pressure at the sea level: Po

Height at which air pressure is 85% of the air pressure at sea level:

h=?, P(h)=85% Po

P(h)=(85/100) Po

P(h)=0.85 Po

Replacing P(h) by 0.85 Po in the formula above:

P(h)=Po e^(-0.00012h)

0.85 Po = Po e^(-0.00012h)

It's a cloudy and rainy day. The air pressure is most likely _____.
kramer
The air pressure ( or atmospheric pressure ) is the force of air over a unit of area. Changes in the air pressure causes the weather changes. High pressure usually brings good weather with dry and cool air. But in a low pressure zone warm air is rising up. This vertical movements are caused by winds high in the troposphere. Water molecules stay as a gas in warmer air. After the vertical movement they condense and bring steady continuous rain. Therefore the low pressure brings cloudly and rainy weather. Answer: The air pressure is most likely low<span>. </span>
